Any insiders know the exact release date of SLP ZL402 shortblock? It was supposed to be available about two months ago, but that was not so. SLP's site sucks *****. Should I just give them a call and find out?

 

No give someone else a call that will build you more for less.
Why trust a company like that for motor's?
They are mass producing them like everything else.
I would rather a different sponsor build one for me.

geez, what isn't massed produced for these engines

Seems like a great deal for the price. I doubt your going to find anything significantly cheaper, I know I've looked. Just add up the $$$ for the equivalent parts on your own build and see how much of a difference there actually is.

 

I think it is more of a peace of mind thing. If I had 2 identical motors sittin here, one from SLP, the other from a well known sponser, both the same price, I know what I'm going to get. I'll give you a hint, it's not SLP.

 

Each to his own. The thing is that the price will not be the same, the SLP WILL BE the cheapest 400+ c.i. motor out there. Lets face it, most people won't be spraying a 400 shot of nitrous, or running a twin turbo set-up pumping 20+psi, it's more than likely you won't need some 15 thousand dollar motor using Lunati internals. If I have the money to blow then hey I'd go the exspensive route to, but some of us can't justify or afford spending twice as much for a motor when it's necessary. Lets just wait and see how this engine performs, before we bag on a companies products and reputation. Peace.
